Original Co-Founding Father Gang Leader Of The Crips Signs Global Book Deal

July 24, 2013 - PRLog -- VIP Ink Publishing, L.L.C. recently signed Angelo “Barefoot Pookie” White for an autobiography. Angelo “Barefoot Pookie” White is one of the original co-founding fathers of the Los Angeles, California gang called the Crips. White also has been featured in three documentaries Gangland - Crip or Die, Inside the Bloods and Crips L.A. Gangs and Peacemakers which aired across the globe.

White’s amazing journey will take its reader on a never ending thrill ride from being born into gang-banging to finding Christ and leading the lost to the Christian Cross. His autobiography will give readers for the first time an in-depth look into the mind set of “cripping” and the movement of the largest most dangerous gang in Los Angeles. White’s story will also detail the history of the birth of the Crips gang with Raymond Washington and the original Baby Avenues from 1969, which copied the political activities of the organization the Black Panthers.

After twenty years of warfare between the Crips and the Bloods, White was instrumental in helping bring about the first gang truce in South Central Los Angeles. He has also worked with super star rapper Ice T in New York with a gang truce called “All In The Same Gang”.  White now works with two organizations which educated our youth about gang violence called Cease Fire and Peace Protocol. He also has organized his own safe passage program called CHAMPS which works with many of the schools and churches in the state of California to help counsel children about gangs.

Angelo “Barefoot Pookie” White’s autobiography titled “Crips to Christ” is nothing short of spectacular. His story of building one of Americas most destructive gangs to how God changed his life and now uses him as an example of how the Blood of Jesus was shed for our salvation, will touch the hearts of millions.
